I don't have a copy of TS loaded on the PC that I'm typing this from, so I can't check right now, however I don't believe that the MS1 has this feature.

fastivab6tg25mr, I might try changing from "Corrected" to "Normal correction" and see if that helps.

Otherwise, the only solution I can think of for an MS1 would be to switch "CLT-related density", use IAT, over-ride the RPM taper, and enter a map which is inverse of the normal correction map at half-scale.

Tried that.

I had two AIT sensors at one point. The second under the driver side fender, with a little computer fan blowing on it. I'd use a relay with some RPM + TIME? (I can't rember) to trigger from one to the other.

doesn't really help, still gets hot under the hood...the issue is the aggressive code that pulls way too much fuel at any temp abouve 85°F

This is what I'm talking about. Air Density table switch to AIT, with the start/end correction RPM points set to like 2500 and 3000 respectively.

same function as the MAT corrections table in MSII and MSII.

thanks so much. i guess i just confused myself looking for something that wasnt there.

I was just clarifying that in MS1, there's no way to "open that dialouge window and see that I can input a value from 50-100% to change the scaling of the ideal gas air density corrections."

Us old-schoolers don't have none of this hoity-toity percentage scaling. :D

Braineack 02-01-2012 12:11 PM

ohhh. yeah well that part is trivial. I want the decay.

not old school... just poor...lol... i cant wait for some extra cash to build an MS3X. i want sequential fuel and spark.

finally got around to putting in my 1000s from five0 so im setting up my corrections and i can't seem to get the CLT gauge to chane to the MAT even after i went into the .ini and changed it.

do i have to reload the firmware or something?

Braineack 02-10-2012 11:03 AM

:td: MSI

fastivab6tg25mr 02-10-2012 11:23 AM

but its all that i have :'(

fastivab6tg25mr 02-11-2012 10:46 AM

does anyone have an idea of what im doing wrong? do i have to reload the firmware in order for the clt corrections to turn into mat corrections? i was trying to use the lil green ball as a reference like the box says but it is still following clt values instead of the mat values i set it to.

Braineack 02-11-2012 02:19 PM

and it's set to AIT under advanced? the green line should be following whatever that is set to, regardless of what the gauge displaying in that window shows.

fastivab6tg25mr 02-11-2012 07:57 PM

its set to IAT but its following CLT thats why im so confused. any ideas?

MS1 user here. I was able to remedy the hot starting lean condition using the coolant related air density table adjustments table and it's working pretty good now. Thanks for that help.

Question- When constantly in boost at the track on a very hot day in Miami, my AFRs were getting leaner in boost, presumably due to high AITs. Is the MS1 pulling fuel due to high AITs just like on hot starts? Can I compensate for or prevent this?

Braineack 05-25-2012 09:19 AM

well on the MSI you have a decay to turn off the CLT-Based corrections after X rpm, probably set around 2500RPM, so the MS starts pulling fuel again based on the MAT. you may want to increase that value a little.

Increase which value, the decay RPM or how it pulls fuel related to the MAT? Is that the curve editor thing I read about?

sixshooter 05-25-2012 11:57 AM

FWIW, my car was pretty dialed in with autotune to run 12.2 AFRs at 140kpa and 11.5 at 170kpa between 4000-7000RPM.

And I was reading about 13.4 AFR at 6-7psi in the same RPM range on the hot track with AIT's above 105*F. Too much difference when AIT's go up.

You have to open up the project ini file in a text editor and change one of the settings to switch the gauge and table to display MAT rather than CLT. For whatever reason, it doesn't automatically switch when you choose MAT vs CLT and there is no drop-down to switch it.

I had that problem - and tried to change it to MAT correction, but it was still reading from clt temp. Had to go into the .ini file and change the line:

[CurveEditor]
curve = clt_IATCorrC, "Coolant corrected Air Density, see Settings", 9
topicHelp = airdenHelp
columnLabel = "Temp", "Offset"
xBins = IATCTemp, mat <==change this, previously 'clt'
yBins = IATCorS
gauge = matGauge <== also change to this if it doesn't say this already


Hope this helps!

Just tried the above, found the curve editor in C:\Program Files\EFIAnalytics\TunerStudioMS_beta\config\ecuDe f\MSExtra format hr_10.ini manged to save it but the iat correction table is still showing coolant corrected. What am i doing wrong? Surely it should be iat corrected?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry, I should have clarified: You need to change it in your project ini file, not the firmware ini file. Look for the mainController.ini file in the "projectCfg" folder.

You guys on here are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Managed to find the correct folder & edit the .ini file. It is now displaying mat & not clt:bowrofl:
All i need to do now is work out what offsets to use & all will be great again in my eunos world.
thanks guys.
